Hemant Shringy

Based in Mumbai

Hemant Shringy is the Managing Partner and Chief Creative Officer at Wondrlab, a very recent shift from his six-year-long stint at FCB Ulka as the Chief Creative Officer.

Hemant started his career in 2005, as a Copywriter at Saints and Warriors, and later joined (formerly called) DDB as a senior copywriter. This was followed by his stint at Ogilvy as a copy supervisor, and at Grey Worldwide as the Group Head. Hemant then served at BBDO India for over 12 years, in the capacities of Executive Creative Director and Chief Creative Officer.

Today, Hemant has grown to become a new-age creative leader, perpetually championing intriguing stories and breaking stereotypes. He understands the pulse of the society and weaves narratives that tackle them head-on, always leaving a lasting impact on the audiences.

His campaigns—ranging from P&G Whisper 'Touch the Pickle' and Visa 'Kindness is Cashless', to eBay 'Things Don’t Judge' and IDEA 'Meri Real Life'—have consistently combined creativity with cultural relevance and effectiveness. Among them, Ariel #ShareTheLoad stands out as a landmark campaign, having ranked #1 in the WARC Top 100 campaigns worldwide for two consecutive years.

Hemant has been listed among Campaign Asia's 40 Under 40, and has twice been titled the Creative Person of the Year, South Asia (2016 and 2021). He has also been labelled the 13th most awarded Executive Creative Director in the world. These awards include a string of Grand Prix and Golds across festivals like the Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, SpikesAsia, along with India's first White Pencil at D&AD Impact awards.

Beyond creating his own narratives, Hemant has also contributed to shaping the global creative dialogue as a jury member at global festivals. He has served as Jury President at AdFest, on the Direct Jury at Cannes Lions, and as a juror for Cannes Lions Health & Wellness, among others.
